Colorado Culture of Health

2007 First Annual Conference

A Business Approach to Cutting the Fat

In 2007, at the first annual Colorado Culture of Health™ Conference, CCH made the point that while Colorado is reported as the leanest state in the United States, Coloradans' weight is growing at the same rate as the rest of the nation.  The Conference addressed the issue of obesity; its effects on business and proposed solutions.  Attendees heard from experts and received the tools needed to approach this growing problem and its impact on productivity, health care costs, absenteeism, and more.

• The Honorable Barbara O'Brien
  Lieutenant Governor, State of Colorado
